Reform UK has framed the conference as a key moment in its rise, aiming to present itself as a credible alternative to the current government. However, its appeal to businesses remains mixed, with some wary of public backlash should they be seen supporting the party openly.
"Many companies are keeping a low profile," said a senior lobbyist. "They want insights but are cautious about being associated too closely."
The conference will also feature debates on topics like taxation, trade, and immigration, making it a platform not just for networking but also for policy discussions. Farage himself is expected to deliver a speech focused on economic reform and national sovereignty.
Despite the hesitations, the party's rising influence is undeniable. Some businesses see engagement as inevitable. "You can’t ignore a movement with this level of support," remarked an industry analyst. "The political landscape is shifting, and companies need to adapt."
With the next general election approaching, Reform UK’s ability to attract corporate interest—albeit cautiously—highlights its growing relevance in British politics. Whether that translates into lasting business alliances or remains a tentative exploration, the conference will be pivotal in shaping perceptions.
CuriosityNews has contacted several other firms reportedly attending; most declined to comment, while others reiterated their policy of engaging with all major political voices.
